No official population register in the UK. Only the census. If you're a convicted 'pedo', it's your duty to inform the CRB of your name change. How many twisted minds will do this, you think? Police is pretty much the same crap - no history/register to fall back on - it's just your word against...

For explosiveness - John Bonham - Led Zep. The fact the band disbanded after his death - says it all.

Marlon Brando - Godfather Day Lewis - There will be blood + others Robert DeNiro - Taxi Driver Ben Kingsley - Ghandi / Sexy Beast Sean Penn - Dead Man Walking Samuel L Jackson - Pulp Fiction

Looks like you like to change more often than not. I was thinking of audiolab too at one stage….

1990: Cyrus 2 + PSX 2006: Naim 92/ Nap 90 2019 - current Naim 72/140/HiCap Last amp combo is by far the best. Also, moving from Cyrus to Naim - is a big step up - soundwise. While Cyrus is good, it lacks the directness of Naim - which I like.

It is very interesting to see how remainers/brexiteers only show one side of the equation to suit their narrative.

Brexit is a factor, but the major reason for the depreciation this year is the strength of the greenback or dollar. Note that EUR/USD has lost 12% ytd.

I like the simplestic explanation of the FX markets and currencies in general, however in practice there is a lot more that comes into play especially since Rates and FX markets are interconnected. The spot market is very much controlled by the big banks. From a theory point of view, Interest...

Don't agree with this. Why is it that some Immigrants, who have come to this country with nothing btw and by no means rich - successfully 'social engineer' their kids into better education and jobs. Class does matter in some sections/jobs - but hard-work/values go a long way.

There are more billionaires in France or Germany. Like UK, most of the wealth is in hands of a few. But the big difference in UK; the poor in UK are a lot poorer both in terms of wealth/education than the 'poor' in most developed Western European countries. It's shocking that in poorer London...

It is really sad as to what has happened. Again, pointless life lost. Why did the policeman pull the trigger? Surely, it must be based on some intell? Also, if you have nothing to hide why runaway? I would have thought that by now - lessons would have been learnt after the Mark Duggan /Tottenham...

Why the need for speed limiters on cars? Legally, you can't drive more than x, so if you respect that - you should be fine. Also, driving speed, whilst a major factor in lethal accidents, is certainly not the only factor. Age, experience, anticipation, road planning, etc.... are also...

Why is Liz Truss so piss-headed about taxing the energy companies? It is low-hanging fruit and will be much needed tax receipts in these extraordinary times. I bet even if she put a tax/levy - the energy companies wouldnt even mind that much.

Noticed that too - maybe it's an indirect reference to the Saxon roots. I was expecting a Jag, but Jags break down.
